Teaching Confused Words, Leo M. Schell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

If a child confuses look-alike words, we can't remediate the situation by relying on "business as usual" methods. Methods used previously may have contributed to the problem in the first place. Therefore, even though confused words are a subset of common sight words, we can't use methodology typically used to teach children sight words; we need to use procedures especially appropriate for the situation. Fortunately, much recent attention has been paid indirectly to this problem.

Nonverbal Communication Of The Deaf, Jayne S. Lytle

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Nonverbal communication among deaf people is discussed in relation to American Sign Language, Deaf culture, and interactions between deaf and hearing people. The article distinguishes between nonverbal behavior and the visual linguistic features of ASL, noting that movements of the face, eyes, head, and body may function as part of the language rather than as merely expressive gestures. It reviews assumptions about deaf people’s receptive and expressive nonverbal abilities, including the idea that visual communication automatically produces greater skill in interpreting body language. The article describes characteristic behaviors related to proxemics, touch, attention-getting gestures, eye gaze, and paralanguage, with attention …

Sign Systems In Communication, Carol J. Garretson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Sign systems and sign languages are introduced through distinctions among American Sign Language, manual English systems, fingerspelling, simultaneous communication, Total Communication, Pidgin Sign English, international sign, and Cued Speech. The article clarifies terminology related to deafness, hearing impairment, and manual communication, while addressing common misconceptions that sign language is universal, nonverbal, or merely gestural. It traces the development of home signs, childrenese, school signs, and regional signing patterns, and explains that American Sign Language is an independent language with its own grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and capacity for abstraction. The article also describes efforts to represent English manually through systems such …

An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Processing Rate And Memory Span In Learning Disabled Children, Jeffrey Wayne Gray

Student Work

Slow rate of information processing has been offered as an explanation for the short-term memory problems of learning and/or reading disabled children (e.g., Spring & Capps, 1974). The present investigation used an item identification task and a memory span task to determine whether, when learning and/or reading disabled and non-disabled children are equated with regard to the speed with which they process information, their measured memory spans are also equal. It was hypothesized that the observed memory span differences would be eliminated by equating the two groups on a measure of processing rate.

The Effects Of A Reflective Drill On Graphically Similar Substitution Errors, Janet Westmann

Theses

This paper concentrates on the reduction of substitution errors through the use of a graphically similar reflective drill in the oral reading of first graders. A reflective drill is a drill designed with a timed delayed response. The delayed response is designed to train the student to discriminate between the stimuli and respond correctly rather than quickly.

After defining terms, the literature review includes studies on 1) reading errors, 2) perceptual development, and 3) impulsivity.

The research design will be experimental using the classroom situation and first grade students. Using previously established reading groups within the classroom six subgroups will …
